You could just blacklist the sector so it won't get deliveries to/from itmemeics wrote:Yesterday I noticed a really bad case of OK Traders not taking distance/time to cover into consideration. I've noticed one of my complexes running out of energy cells and stalling but I knew it had a Caiman Hauler homebased OK Trader servicing it which should be fine. I looked for the trader only to find him trying to sell a few products for the homebase in Armstrong. For those unfamiliar with Xtended Mod, Armstrong is a sector where there is only one gate (the rest are trans-orbital accelerators) so traders can only jump at that gate, but this gate is a "hidden" gate, more 80k away from the sector center. So my Caiman Hauler takes forever to travel that distance, in the meantime the homebase goes out of energy cells
I could add one more trader to the base but most of the time he'd be idling as a single Caiman Hauler is more than enough for that complex, as long as he takes about 10 minutes in game time for a trade run. If he takes >40 then things will get bad. I'll try to bump up the max stock limits for resources for that base, to get a larger buffer of resources for these occasional very long trade runs but ideally the trader could take into consideration the time it takes to do the trade run because it can be computed very well, especially for OOS.

Found a weird bug in something: My traders are using docking computers and jumpdrives, which leads to a bunch of new traders coming in, docking, then undocking while the other ship is still in the jump process and didn't bother to leave the docking area. Boom. My complex hub has a higher killcount than the rest of the universe!

Even though the CAG training stuff may add to depth in the early game, later it gets quite tedious.. unless you just cheat new pilots to level 5. On the other side, from the day I added Tiek's signal targeted none of my traders ever has been destroyed.
How do OK traders perform when bothered by enemies?

The survivability of OK free traders compared to MK3 reloaded traders are the same for me. They are nearly perfect as long as I'm not in the same sector as the attacked ship. Their trade efficiency seems also equal if you compare an OK free trader to a lvl 25 MK3 reloaded trader. The main advantage for an OK trader is that it immediately starts at maximum efficiency, while you have to train your MK3 reloaded traders before they got efficient.
Then consider using MK3 Reloaded.

Does anyone else find that their traders often spend large stretches of time doing absolutely nothing, then go on a trading spree, then go back to doing nothing for a few hours? I'm not sure if there's something weird going on or if this is just X3 being X3. At this point my save game has had so many mods installed, removed, reinstalled, tweaked, removed, etc that I'm surprised my computer hasn't caught fire, so I wouldn't be shocked to hear something weird is actually going on here.

I've installed XTC 2.2 with hotfix 22. I created 50 docked drakes and broadcast OK to them.
The traders started out selling all the equipment I spawned on them that they don't need, like excess energy and ammo. During this time I get no apparent slowdown at 10x seta, nor while fighting 20 xenon M spawned around my tapian. This tends to suggest the monitoring task running on each trader isn't what's taxing the cpu.
Still no appreciable slowdown after I left it on seta for a while. I've been observing an ATF vidar fighting 10 xenon fujin at seta 10x while rotating the camera and its pretty smooth.
This is on i7-2600k with 16gb ram, win7 x64.
All I can say at this point is, make sure ok's debug mode is disabled as the file logging has a big overhead, and minimize the number of economy boost mode traders.
